Hi all,

I’m a Technical Implementation consultant with 1.5 YOE and am currently at a cross-roads over here.

I want to get into Product Management within the fintech sector. Currently, I have an offer at BlackRock for a Technical Implementation Consultant role. I would say it’s a fair offer and would increase my TC by about 50%. Also waiting to hear back from startup company. If they give a competitive offer, I feel like this would help me get to PM faster. Any advice?

Thanks!

Of course the third option is to go straight to applying for PM roles. I’m just trying to gauge what the best course of action would be.

Usually in startups you get to wear multiple hats and trying out different positions is easier depending on the stage the startup is at.

So that might be a good option.

Thoughts on becoming a "Growth & New Initiatives PM"?

I was a regular PM managing my own vertical and now have the opportunity for a new role in the org. No promo or cash related, just jurisdiction wise.

I'd be focusing on:
For old product-

-automation
For new product-
-Building out from scratch
-UI/UX related user feedback
-sales and marketing focus
-use cases and features

Is this a good move career wise? Love being a PM and looking to grow.
